Diversity and inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are critical to our aspirations
Different ways of thinking are generated by bringing together individuals with varied backgrounds, experiences, passions and points of view. To deliver high performance and positive influence for our clients, we deliberately seek, support and celebrate the diversity of our employees in all forms – including gender, race, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status or otherwise.
We recruit from diverse fields and create teams with skills and perspectives that perfectly complement yours. Our people listen carefully, meet you where you are, and work in the spirit of genuine co-production.
Our Vision
I – and my colleagues – belong here
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is for Nous to be a place where everyone can be their true and authentic selves, embrace their uniqueness and realise their professional aspirations. We foster a deep culture of respect and provide an environment for all our employees to flourish.

We are ahead of the curve when it comes to gender equality
Creating a diverse and balanced workforce has been ingrained in Nous’ culture and values since the business was founded 20 years ago. As we’ve grown, our gender ratio has stayed close to even and we are actively committed to maintaining this through our inclusive culture, gender neutral policies and flexible work practices.
We have taken formal steps to promote greater diversity and inclusion
Nous is a member of ACON’s Pride in Diversity (PID) program. PID is a not-for-profit employer-support program that assists Australian organisations in all aspects of LGBTI workplace inclusion.
This is one of the formal steps in our journey to promote greater diversity and inclusion at Nous. Through our membership we participate in a variety of knowledge-sharing, upskilling and network-building activities.
We believe that reconciliation and closing the gap is critically important
Our vision is for an Australia where everyone shares the same standard of living and the same opportunities.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Nous acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and the traditional custodians of Australia. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future in maintaining the culture, country and their spiritual connection to the land.
Our first Reflect RAP (launched in 2014) focused on building relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including through project work, and fostering respect, by developing understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures among Nous staff. Our key priorities for reconciliation over the next two years of our Innovate RAP focus on relationships, respect and opportunities.
Our Indigenous Employment Strategy
Indigenous Australians represent 2% of the working population and our goal is for at least 2% of Nous employees to be Indigenous.
We seek the best and brightest candidates and hire for diversity of perspective and experience. Our Indigenous Employment Strategy is a core component of this and we are actively seeking to increase the number of Indigenous people we work with and employ.
